VIRTUS - Protecting God's Children (PGC)
Since August 2003, over 25,000 Diocese of Lansing priests, deacons, religious, educators, school, and parish employees/volunteers from our 72 parishes and 32 schools as well as other agencies have taken part in the VIRTUS Protecting God's Children awareness training. We are thankful for you. You are the eyes and ears in our locations, and we depend on you greatly to spot behaviors that do not align with the Protecting God's Children training, the Diocese of Lansing Code of Conduct for Clergy (Including Bishops), Employees and Volunteers and policies.
